Bob Holmes is a very dedicated NEO observer. He started off as an amateur and is a currently working full-time on a NASA grant to provide asteroid and NEO observations. He built his own 24" and 32" instruments, and he produced more NEO follow-up observations than anyone else last year.

We very much need and appreciate the efforts made by other sites including H55 to make follow up observations for us. Any time we spend making follow up obs takes us away from surveying "virgin" sky so follow up obs made by others aids in finding potential impactors. We acknowledge and thank all sites that provide follow up of our discoveries on our home page
